The par time defined in MAPINFO is 5:00.

Walkthrough

Map of The Well

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Secrets

1. At the start, go to the armor bonuses and look back: the gargoyle face is different. Press it, head east to the first blood pool and head up, then through the vines at the left end to get a soul sphere and a box of shotgun shells. (sector 29)
2. Head east from the start into the first blood pool and open the wall of pure circuitry to get a chainsaw and an ammo clip. (sector 31)
3. In the beige room at the northeast end, press the skull switch at the southeast to lower the middle column, containing a radiation suit. (sector 43)
